That's about the size of it. In the quest to be bigger and better, new light duty pickup trucks are so close to their class weight limit that my 2002 actually looks more capable on paper. Not to mention the bed of my 2002 is lower making it easier to load cargo and hitch a gooseneck or fiver. We've had our 5 ton fiver over much of the US and not felt wanting for power. So I don't get the new trucks sitting higher, having obscene power, and too heavy to be useful in their weight class. Less than 2000 lb payload in a 3/4 ton pickup weighing 8000+ lbs and 900+ lb ft of torque is absurd.

If you can pull an 11000 pound (must be pretty long) bumper pull travel trailer and not be uncomfortable, that is pretty awesome.

It's actually rather short for a travel trailer. 25'6" from hitch to bumper. It's a toy hauler so the frame is beefy and it carries a lot of water.

Wotf8, while I cannot perhaps offer any good feedback here as to what might be causing this problem, I can say that adding a rear sway bar is not that expensive and in my case it made a noticeable difference in how my truck feels on the road. I went with the stock Ford unit and could not be happier, this might be worth doing in your case as it certainly will not hurt anything here.
